OULD you like to leave the turmoil and rush of the city and camp in some delightful 
retreat beside a mountain stream where the fragrant pine needles cover the ground; 
and where one may sleep and eat and sleep again and forget that he has nerves? On 
the Cascade National Forest in Oregon there are a thousand beautiful spots by lake 
or stream or in secluded mountain park, easily reached by automobile, with horses, or 
on foot. You may match your skill against the elusive rainbow, steelhead, and Dolly 
Varden trout; hunt deer or bear in a paradise of mountain scenery; scale glaciers on 
a glistening peak ; bathe in warm mineral springs ; or sit down with a mountain appetite to venison 
and trout broiled on your own camp fire. The clear, sparkling trout streams rise on snow-clad 
peaks and dash in tempestuous fury past lava flows and cliffs, and through magnificent forests of 
Douglas fir. The days are clear and sunny, the air full of ozone, the nights cool and glorious.

Upper Falls— McKenzie Kiver 



There is an abundance of wild game, principally deer, 
squirrels, rabbits, grouse, and quail, throughout the Forest. 
Hunters will find the various hotels and resorts along the 
McKenzie River convenient outfitting and starting points. 
Remember the other fellow may enjoy hunting too. Pro- 
vide yourself with a hunting license and the State game 
laws, and take only your legitimate share of the game. 

There's nothing like a fishing trip on the McKenzie. 
A roaring mountain stream. Towering mountains on 
both sides. Water ice cold and clear as crystal, the haunt 
of rainbow and Dolly Varden trout. A tussle with many 
a shining beauty. A lunch at noon on a shady bank. A 
well-filled basket long before the shadows fall. 

Or try your mettle against eastern brook and other 
trout in the mountain lakes near the summit of the 
Cascades. The legal day's catch is 50 trout, or 35 
pounds, and all must be over 6 inches in length. 

Trout fishing in the Willamette and its tributaries is 
excellent. The State of Oregon maintains a fish hatchery 



near Oakridge, with a capacity of 9,000,000 fry per annum, 
to be used in stocking the Willamette and McKenzie, as 
well as other streams and lakes in Oregon. 

How to Get There 

Both the McKenzie Highway and the Old Willamette 
Military Road extend from Eugene across the Cascade 
National Forest, which includes more than a million acres 
on the Upper Willamette and McKenzie watersheds in the 
Cascade Mountains of eastern Lane County, Oreg. The 
McKenzie Highway from Eugene to Bend passes through 
the northern part of the Forest, a distance of 118 miles by 
automobile. McKenzie Bridge is an 8 hours' run (180 
miles) from Portland via Pacific Highway to Eugene and 
McKenzie Highway to McKenzie Bridge; or via Southern 
Pacific Railway to Eugene and McKenzie daily auto stage 
to McKenzie Bridge. The Old Willamette Military Boad 
from Eugene to eastern Oregon passes along the Willamette 
Biver through the southern part of the Forest to Oakridge

(8 hours, 170 miles from Portland), in the heart of the Cascades. This road is passable to the 
Rigdon Ranger Station above Oakridge, and in time will be to Crater Lake, Crescent Lake, and 
eastern Oregon. Oakridge is also reached by the Southern Pacific Railway. 

A good auto camp is maintained at Eugene by the Eugene Chamber of Commerce for the free 
use of auto tourists; and there are hundreds of splendid camp sites along the McKenzie and 
Willamette Rivers. 

There are good hotels at Eugene, Oakridge, McKenzie Rridge, Foley, Belknap, McCredie, and 
Kitson Hot Springs, besides numerous excellent summer-resort hotels along the McKenzie River, 
and stores and gasoline supply stations at Oakridge and McKenzie Bridge and numerous points 
en route. 

Points of Special Interest 

McKenzie Bridge, a small summer resort tucked cosily in the mountains, is the outfitting point 
for the northern portion of the Forest, and here one may hire horses, guides, and automobiles, and 
buy groceries and gasoline. Foley and Belknap Hot Springs are modern summer resorts in the heart 
of the mountains, but accessible by auto. They provide baths, swimming pools, dancing, and good

hotel accommodation. Frissell Point and Horsepasture Mountain are close-in points that furnish 
wonderful views of glacier peaks, mountains, lava streams, and virgin forest. Linton, Elk, Scott, 
and Buoy Lakes, Linton and Rainbow Falls, the snow-clad Sisters, towering more than 10,000 feet 
skyward, lava fields, and Castle Rock, are also points of special interest. 

Oakridge, on the Old Willamette Military Road, is the outfitting point on the Willamette, 
and provides guides, automobiles, groceries, and gasoline. McCredie and Kitson Hot Springs 
provide hotel and bath accommodations, with a swimming tank at the former place. Waldo Lake, 
the Huckleberry Patch, Salmon Creek Falls, snow-clad Diamond Peak, Summit and Odell Lakes, 
Lairson Rock, and Huckleberry Mountain are well worth visiting, not to mention innumerable 
beauty spots along the Willamette River and its tributaries. 

Summer Home Sites 

When you get there you will want to stay or come again. Perhaps you would like a permanent 
camp, summer cabin, or cottage located in a favorite spot, to which you can return with a feeling of 
ownership. Suitable tracts can be leased from the Government under permits which run 

on the Cascade National Forest

from 1 to 15 years. A full year is allowed you in which to begin your improvements, and you 
may transfer or assign your lease. When it expires you can renew it or sell your improvements or 
remove them. The fee is from $10 to $25 a year. 

The regulations governing the issuance of permits are few and reasonable, and are designed solely 
for the protection of the health, safety, and convenience of the people and the beauty and usefulness 
of the region. No limits are set on the cost of the houses, but unsightly shacks in conspicuous places 
will not be allowed. The sanitary disposal of sewage and refuse is required. Pollution of streams 
is prohibited. Care in handling fires is insisted on. Free permits to use fallen timber for fuel may 
be obtained upon request. 

There are hundreds of attractive sites available by automobile along the McKenzie and 
Willamette Rivers and on smaller streams, where one may pick a spot to his own liking. The area 
is uniformly healthful and the water unexcelled. 

The McKenzie Bridge Sites 

The McKenzie Bridge group of home sites consists of 28 lots of an average size of 100 feet wide 
by 150 feet long, located on the south bank of the McKenzie River, 1 mile above the McKenzie 

on the Cascade National Forest

Bridge post office and 57 miles easterly from Eugene, Oreg. The Mckenzie Highway passes by the 
group, rendering it readily accessible for 10 or 12 months of the year from the Willamette Valley, 
and for 5 or 6 months from points in central Oregon. A daily auto stage runs between McKenzie 
Bridge post office and Eugene, Oreg., for six months of the year. During the remaining six months, 
which embraces the rainy and winter season, stage service is reduced to three times per week. Two 
stores at McKenzie Bridge carry provisions, gasoline, and horse feed. Provision has been made for 
two small public camp grounds adjoining this group of lots. 

The cost of clearing an entire lot for building purposes should not exceed $25. The principal 
tree species are Douglas fir, white fir, and incense cedar. The undergrowth consists largely of hard- 
wood shrubs, such as manzanita, hazel, and willow. 

The only natural water supply here is the McKenzie Biver. The water of this stream is excellent 
for domestic purposes, being cold and pure. Any permittee not caring to use river water may obtain 
an abundant supply by digging a well not more than 25 feet deep. It is possible to obtain a sufficient 
supply of running water by installing a ram in the McKenzie Biver at a very low cost for installation 
and upkeep.

Fishing, Hunting, and Camping 



This group of summer-home sites has an ideal location. It is 1,500 feet above sea level. The 
McKenzie River, an excellent stream for fishermen who desire to try their skill with large rainbow 
and Dolly Varden trout, passes within a few steps. Other numerous smaller streams near at hand 
are alive with smaller rainbow and brook trout. At McKenzie Bridge guides, saddle and pack horses, 
and provisions for trips to all points of interest can be secured at reasonable rates. Mountain 
climbers can make the round trip to the Three Sisters Mountains and the lava fields in three days. 
Good hunting grounds are near at hand. The large falls of the McKenzie River can be reached in a 
one day's trip by saddle horse or on foot. Linton, Scott, Benson, and Horse Lakes have been stocked 
with eastern brook trout and steelhead salmon, and are easily reached with saddle and pack horses. 
Belknap Hot Springs are situated approximately 5 miles to the east, and Foley Hot Springs 1 miles 
to the southeast. Both are located on auto roads. The magnificent scenery of the locality can be 
viewed from many high points that can be easily reached over good trails constructed by the Forest 
Service.

Salmon Creek Sites 




Sixteen-pouud Dolly Vardcc 



Salmon Creek, on the Willamette, near Oakridge, Oreg., has 
all the possibilities of a coming recreation center. Forty-six 
miles from Eugene, on what will become a main trans-State 
highway east to west, it is suitably located for the first night's 
rest on the journey out of Eugene. Various stream changes in 
the delta of Salmon Creek, which is really a small-sized river, 
have formed a labyrinth of beautiful brush and timber covered 
islands, separated by smaller or larger streams or rivulets, with 
here and there at high water a miniature lagoon in the old creek 
channels. It is an ideal place for a camp ground, and plans are 
being made for its development as such. The State has free 
permit on the same ground for fish-hatchery purposes and 
intends many improvements for the comfort and convenience of 
the campers. 

The Salmon Creek home-site area, consisting of 20 roomy 
lots, with good frontage on Salmon Creek, is one of the best 
home-site projects in the mountains. There are groups of three 
16 



and four lots together, which will appeal strongly to families who 
like some isolation but still want friends fairly close. The area 
consists mainly of a maple, fir, and cedar covered bench, with 
various kinds of underbrush and a carpet of moss and fern. All 
lots will be accessible by automobile. 

Trails will be constructed to the fish hatchery and public camp 
grounds, 1 mile below. Aubrey Mountain, just across the creek, 
offers a splendid view. 



PLEASE REGISTER 

Urgent business or other necessity may make it imperative to 
find you. Let a Forest ranger know where you are going and 
the route you intend to take. It is a little thing, but it may enable 
the ranger to find you. Forest Service telephone lines reach 
many points in the mountains and are free for your use for busi- 
ness or emergency. You will always find the Forest rangers glad 
to advise you about routes and equipment.

■ PREVENT FIRE IN THE MOUNTAINS 

MATCHES. — Be sure your match is out. Break it in two before you throw it away. 

SMOKEBS. — Throw pipe ashes and cigar and cigarette stumps in the dust of the road and 
stamp on them. Toss cigar stubs over the radiator, not to the side of the car. 

MAKING CAMP. — Build a small camp fire. Build it in the open, never against a tree or log. 
Scrape away the trash from all around it. 

LEAVING CAMP. — Never leave a camp fire, even for a short time. Extinguish every spark 
with water or dirt. Fire will smoulder for days or weeks in a big root or in peat-like top soil and 
needles. 

FIGHTING FIBES. — If you find a tire, try to put it out. If you can't, get word to the nearest 
Forest ranger or fire warden. Keep in touch with the rangers.
